Soto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Twins.
Monday marked just the second long ball of the season for Soto, who got his first hit of the year with a runner in scoring position on a 405-foot shot to center field in the seventh inning. Despite what seems to be a quiet start by the perennial All-Star's lofty standards, Soto is slashing a respectable .250/.400/.429 with four doubles, six RBI, one stolen base and 14 walks over 70 plate appearances (16 games) so far.
Soto went 1-for-4 with a stolen base, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jays.
The steal was Soto's first of 2025. He's not a big runner -- he went 7-for-11 on the basepaths in 2024, and he's with the Mets more for his power and on-base skills rather than his speed. He's hit safely in six of seven games and drawn at least one walk in five contests so far this season, posting a .240/.387/.440 slash line over 31 plate appearances. Those numbers are likely to tick up over time, and Soto should do well in the counting stats as well while hitting No. 2 in the Mets' order.
Soto went 1-for-3 with one walk and an RBI in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.
Soto drove in the Mets' lone run Saturday on a fielder's choice in the sixth inning, though it was thanks to Jose Siri's savvy base running that New York got on the board. Soto has opened his Mets tenure 3-for-9 with four walks, one home run and two RBI. Following Sunday's team off day is a three-game road series against the Marlins that begins Monday.

Mets' Juan Soto: Launches first homer of year
Rotowire
Soto went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's win over the Astros.
The $765 million man crushed a Hunter Brown cutter off the facing of the second deck in right field in the third inning. It was Soto's first homer as a Met, but he's already shown his value at the top of the order, reaching base in five of his first nine plate appearances with his new club. The 26-year-old has never posted an OBP below .400 in his big-league career, and he doesn't seem interested in breaking that streak in 2025.
Mets' Juan Soto: Reaches base thrice in Mets debut
Rotowire
Soto went 1-for-3 with two walks and one strikeout during Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Astros.
It didn't take long for Soto to register his first hit in a Mets uniform, knocking a single off Framber Valdez into center field. Soto earned free passes in two of his next three plate appearances, and he had the chance to sneak out a win in the ninth inning, but he chased on an outside slider from Josh Hader for the game-ending strikeout. Soto will look to give the Mets a bigger punch with his bat Friday against right-hander Tylor Megill, whom Soto has cracked two home runs across 11 plate appearances.
